Description

In The Extractive Zone Macarena Gómez-Barris traces the political, aesthetic, and performative practices that emerge in opposition to the ruinous effects of extractive capital. The work of Indigenous activists, intellectuals, and artists in areas Gómez-Barris labels extractive zones—majority indigenous regions in South The usa noted for his or her biodiversity and long history of exploitative natural resource extraction—withstand and refuse the terms of racial capital and the continuing legacies of colonialism. Extending decolonial theory with race, sexuality, and crucial Indigenous studies, Gómez-Barris develops new vocabularies for alternative types of social and political life. She shows how from Colombia to southern Chile artists like filmmaker Huichaqueo Perez and visible artist Carolina Caycedo formulate decolonial aesthetics. She also examines the decolonizing politics of a Bolivian anarcho-feminist collective and a coalition in eastern Ecuador that protects the region from oil drilling. In so doing, Gómez-Barris unearths the continuing presence of colonial logics and locates emergent modes of living beyond the limits of destructive extractive capital.
